ते हया: सहसोत्पेतुर्गृहीत्वा स्यन्दनोत्तमम् । आस्थितं पाण्डवेयाभ्यां यदूनामृषभेण च,वे घोड़े दोनों पाण्डवों तथा यदुकुलतिलक श्रीकृष्णकी सवारीमें आये हुए उस उत्तम रथको लेकर सहसा उड़ चले
te hayāḥ sahasotpetur gṛhītvā syandanottamam | āsthitaṃ pāṇḍaveyābhyāṃ yadūnām ṛṣabheṇa ca ||
Vaiśampāyana berkata: Kuda-kuda itu tiba-tiba melompat ke hadapan, membawa pergi kereta terbaik itu—yang dinaiki oleh dua putera Pāṇḍu dan juga Kṛṣṇa, sang banteng di antara kaum Yadu—lalu meluru seakan terbang.
